People always have to wear their social mask. I don’t know if I just coined the term “social mask” or if it really exists. I’m pertaining to the attitude we portray in every person we meet.
When we meet someone for the first time, most of us desire a certain impression that we would like to get from a crowd or over a new found friend. In that tendency, we let our best attitudes and behavior surface. That’s what I mean when I say “wear a social mask”.
This Sunday, January 2, 2011. I’ve met my best bud in college which we tag ourselves FAB Friends.
It’s been weeks of text message brigade before this day came to life. Despite of our busy schedule, with each having a career, it’s really hard for us to be complete.
Then there it was, good old times rolled once more, just like before:
 |
| L-R: Rj, Paul, Athens and Sarah |
 |
| Let the good old times roll :) |
 |
| Rock on :) |
 |
| Fab Friends |
 |
| yeah :) |
 |
| :-) |
 |
| Coffee after :) |
The celebration was not complete because of the absence of Marj, who is now in Korea
Though we ventured in different paths, and we didn’t have the chance to spend time often not like before, still, the fun and laughter we felt that night was something familiar. It’s the FAB way.
A person can really say that he is close to another person if he already let go of his social mask. That he interacts with a group not for impression but for companionship itself. In our case, not a single member of our group wears his or her's, all of us already threw and crushed that mask years ago, simply because it's no longer needed. :)
They are one of the few people which saw me beneath my social mask. With them, I can be who I am even without that silly mask. :)
